Today is just a total slush-fest here on Cape. I headed off to bed with a light dusting of snow outside which likely resulted in about 3" overnight, but it warmed up very early, turning to rain. After a lifetime of working outdoors, if I awaken early, hear rain on the roof and roll over, I end up sleeping in. By 8 AM there was 2" of slush everywhere and very little reason to venture out into it with the rain coming down. Fortunately our oldest stopped by for a couple hours on his way to grocery shop this morning and kindly cleaned off a couple of our vehicles and the front and back entries to the house. What a good guy!
Anyway, I won't be heading outside for any 2nd NKD pics so here's a few of the many I shot yesterday.
I carried the iMamba on Saturday as I thought it might be closely equivalent to the Arius. Well, not so much, as the Koenig in hand seems a much larger and heavier knife despite its blade being only an 1/8" longer. The pic doesn't make that diff seem all that profound.
Blade-wise, the closest comparison I found in my accumulation is with my re-scaled Ritter Grip. The blades are real close in width, thickness, and length while the Koenig's handle is still a taste longer. Interestingly, both of these share my favorite sort of backspacer--partial with integral lanyard attachment. I'll also note here that I'm fine with a handle-to-blade ratio that favors the former as I prefer plenty for my thick, arthritic, old carpenter's mitts to hang onto. I'd always wondered how an Arius' ergos would work for me and that seems entirely A+ from the get-go.
As I did carry it yesterday without posting, here's just one indoor shot of the AB taken just after the Arius unboxing.

What size solo stove is that? Thanks.Mid day hike before pizza lunch. Solo stove pizza attachment - can recommend (for a bit thicker crust than a true neapolitanian pizza, cooking time 8-10 min)

That Crusader Scale you snagged is awesome Bud
! I was lucky enough to grab one too but in Battle Bronze, when I received it I took the Bronze off easily to just be plain Battle finish.
Waiting for my Clip and Tab like yours as I had to pick mine up off FB as I missed that drop.
Ordered some Battle finish Hardware from DLT and waiting on it to arrive.
